So, I just typed this on my home system:

# rug  in glibc glibc-common glibc-devel nscd postgresql \
postgresql-libs postgresql-libs postgresql-server

To which rug kindly responded:

Using glibc 2.3.2-4.80.8 from the 'Red Hat Linux 8.0' channel
Using glibc-common 2.3.2-4.80.8 from the 'Red Hat Linux 8.0' channel

ERROR: Duplicate entry found: postgresql-libs


So, frickin' what?  Why in the world is at an error to specify
the same thing twice.  You can only install it once.  So just
install it and don't bother with errors that aren't really
errors.

Argh.
